DEATH AT MATAMATA.
The many friends of Mr and Mrs A. G. Yardley, who are wellknown throughout the .district, will regret to hear of the death of their daughter Beatrice Ellen. The little girl, Who was 6H years of age, was playing about on Thursday afternoon and appeared as well as could be. On Friday afternoon she complained of her throat, but the parents did not attach any great importance to the complaint, thinking it was quinsy. Mr Yardley went to a show meeting and on his return home finding the child no hetter called in Dr. Carolan, who said the child had a diphtheritic throat and painted it. After watching the child for a little he went away to ge.t some restorative. It was then known that there was little chance of saving the little one. Just after he left the child collapsed and expired. The funeral took place on Sunday. General sympathy is expressed with the bereaved parents in their sad loss.
